My husband and I are sick with this bad cold. When I cough it goes so deep and sounds bad. My daughter called and here and her husband are ill with the same thing. My daughter sounds like me. My grandson is better he took medication because his ear where infected. My granddaughter didn't get it and I told her stay in your room. I said hide from them and wash your hands don't touch your face.. lol My grandson who melts my heart gave this to me. I did well last year but he came over he was sitting on my bed with my computer. I could hear it in his chest and told my daughter. She said oh mom you always worry. I said i'm telling you he has something. The next day daycare called her at work and told her he's sick to come get him. She took him to the doctor he was put on medication. So that's why he's doing better and we all got his cold. :-(  less

  Today I went outside with the dog walking him around after it was a long night for the dog. He had a seizure last night he's old has sugar and is blind. He still is very fast at getting around. Walking him around the yard I feel like i'm playing soccer ball I have to keep him between my feet and walk him. It's nice to get him out he loves a nice cool day and feels safe when we walk him like that. It really keeps you on your toes. It's a bit of a work out one that is kinda different. lol haha :-)  less

It's way to hot for me to go outside so i'm staying in the AC and the roofers are back. They messed the ridge vent up bad. My husband went out and bought the one that he wants. You save your hard earned money over years in a fund for things that you know you'll need done. Then who ever did that vent really messed up. I put a picture up and it was like that all over. They had another roof they had to do that comes off the back for the porch and the two on there messed up to. Look now you get the picture. :-(  " no pun intended "  less

It's a plastic ridge vent and my husband told him when plastic heats up it will bend. He said he didn't want it but they said it's good. So that the only thing that went wrong. My husband went this weekend and picked a vent he wanted they bought new vent shingles. They came back to replace all the ridge vents. I know this kids family he just ,lost his dad two weeks ago. They did many roofs of people my husband works. Everyone loved the work they did. I was just taking to the owners brother. His mom and I grew up and played together. His mom wants my phone number to talk to me. So I pray that they will make the wrong right. If not i'll be talking to their mom. lol I'm sure they will everything else is perfect. So new vents are going on now. Pray for us you save many years for up keep and this happen. I believe all will end up well done in the end. Amen <3  less

In my blood it did show an infection that was not as bad. Id I went when I was really bad and anxious it would have showed higher numbers. I could tell I was starting to feel better too. So we came to the lake after and Shirley and I was hiking around outside walking around to different places. I don't know what today will bring yet Shirley wants to walk around to the creek and look for more rocks. We was walking around looking for the markers for property lines yesterday. She keeps me busy and it's good to get me outside and about. :-)  less
